Subject: A quest about Subchorionic bleed Is the prognosis better ...?
> Hello,
> I posted the other day. I would like some clarification please, below
> is my question:
>
> At 6w5d (LMP)with my second baby. I had an u/s and it showed a live
> fetus with a heart beat. The fetus was measuring a little smaller than
> dates so the u/s was repeated at 7w3d.
>
> At 7w3d, the fetus measured right on target and the heart rate was
> strong and great!
>
> They did notice a tiny area of subchorionic bleed at the base of the
> sac, at the side nearest the cervix. They said it was a tiny amount
> (not measurable) and told me to go home, carry on with my life, work and
> raising my other baby and not worry, that most times all is fine, but I
> may have a little spotting.
>
> I am now at 7w6d and haven;t had any spotting
>
> Is this reassuring that I haven't spotted? what is the time frame?
>
> Does it indicate that the bleed around the sac hasn't gotten bigger?
>
> Is a bleed at this location a better/worse prognosis?
>
> I take baby aspirin due to thyroid antibodies.
>
> Should I be very worried about this pregnancy or is it likely all will
> be ok?
